    Social Security lifts seniors out of poverty and 25% of Mainers rely on it. The private market can't match the guaranteed, earned benefits of Social Security. We must bolster this program & ensure it remains strong for future generations. #ExpandSocialSecuritypic.twitter.com/H48PrAzxqr

        It’s not about “seniors in poverty”...it’s about making as many voters dependent on the political, ruling class to get their money back. It’s about control over citizen’s lives...dependency=votes for the 1%!?

        Imagine a retirement plan that participation was mandatory, % of your earned income that you contribute was mandated and if you die after 40 years of contributions, your adult children cannot be beneficiaries...Who would buy this? This is Social Security...END IT!

        So now you say this, but you were mute during chained CPI, and refused to sign grayson-takano. Forgive me if I doubt your dedication.

        Didn't Congress already rob that fund and have yet to pay back the people. Why should we trust you?

        Btw, would you please explain why not being able to speak English should qualify someone for Social Security Disability benefits?

        No, it doesn't. Monthly SS payments are far below the poverty level and the backlog for housing assistance is years' long. Even worse, if seniors must get a job to pay for basics, you tax them. I guess you gotta find the money for your precious illegals somewhere.

        Social Security disability MUST be improved as well, I'm disabled and probably going to file for bankruptcy because what I receive is a joke, another sad thing is that I can't even afford to file for bankruptcy. #SaveSocialSecurity #FireTheGOP #VoteThemOut #GodHelpUs
